No Bamford, Phillips, Cooper, Rodrigo or Koch. Sucks to be us.

Nice to see the Chelsea Leeds rivalry rekindled despite several years apart. Probably more for the old school/pre Roman days than the newer Chelsea fans mind.

Chelsea and City away will be 3 long hours of football. Can't imagine we'll have anything to cheer about from these so the excitement levels are pretty low.

Thought this was a pretty good article about it...

I did like this quote about how brutal these games could be between the sides... 

The game finished in a 2-2 draw. Macreadie suggested both teams do a lap of honour together. But any mutual respect disappeared during the replay at Old Trafford. This was less a football match, more trench warfare. The great Hugh McIlvanney wrote of the referee Eric Jennings: "At times it appeared that Mr Jennings would give a free-kick only on production of a death certificate".

Surprised Chelsea v Leeds isnt on tv 

What fixture are they to replace? Everton have been in the top flight of football for over 110 years. They are arguably the third biggest club in the history of English Football. Patrick Vieira is one of the most influential footballers in the history of Football. Its the first time in sixteen years these two behemoths of Footballing History meet each other. Its absolutely a necessity for the integrity of the sport as a whole that such an occasion is captured on live TV.

Thought I was reading a Liquidator copy and paste there.
